Yesterday there were reports that the Obama Administration found out that Al-Qaeda was behind the Benghazi consulate attacks within 24 hours of the assault that killed four Americans.

So what was their first action?Did they secure the compound? – No, that took over a week to get FBI agents to the consulateDid they acknowledge it was an Al-Qaeda attack? No, Obama this week blamed the terror attack on a YouTube protest.

Here’s what they did – They scrubbed a damning State Department memo from the internet–
On Wednesday September 12, 2012 blogger Speak With Authority discovered that five days before 9-11, the US State Department sent out a memo announcing no credible security threats against the United States on the anniversary of 9-11.

Here is a screengrab of the memo at the OSAC website:
The OSAC memo said:

Terrorism and Important Dates
Global
9/6/2012

OSAC currently has no credible information to suggest that al-Qa’ida or any other terrorist group is plotting any kind of attack overseas to coincide with the upcoming anniversary of September 11. However, constituents often have concerns around important dates, holidays, and major events, Often times, these concerns are the result of increased media attention to the issue, rather than credible evidence of a terrorist plot.

But now it’s gone.
The State Department scrubbed the letter from its OSAC website.The damning memo is gone.
How convenient. They flushed the damning memo down the internet memory hole.

There are nolimits to the depths to which this lying administration will stoop to to keep us in the dark about the dangerous world we live in. Their policies are a total failure and now the 6th ambassador in US history has paid for it with his life. This is not the change we can count on, is it?

This is frightening folks! The Obama Administration is more interested in covering their asses rather then being honest with the American public! Unfortunately for Hilliary, she is going to get thrown under the bus while her “boss” shows up on the celebrity shows! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel sorry for Hilliary, she lies with the best of them! Alert!!!!! You play with skunks pretty soon you start to smell like skunks!!! I smell more than one “PeePee La Pews!”

Are we a nation of wimps Patty? It’s hard to say. I know one thing for certain… our representatives are. Either that, or they’re complicit ….

We’re way past impeachment now … this is looking far more like treason, and it’s about time someone had the guts to say it. There are HOURS of video of Obama expressing pro-Muslim sentiments and voicing his anti-capitalist, anti-American ideologies. Between that video, and his actions, it is becoming IMPOSSIBLE to believe that Obama is anything but an enemy sympathizer. We are at WAR, whether people want to accept that fact or not, and aiding and abetting the enemy is TREASON.

WSJ: The more we learn, the more Benghazi looks like a gross security failure…

{…………………}

Despite all this, U.S. diplomatic missions had minimal security. Officials told the Journal that the Administration put too much faith in weak Libyan police and military forces. The night of the Benghazi attack, four lightly armed Libyans and five American security offices were on duty. The complex lacked smoke-protection masks and fire extinguishers. Neither the consulate in Benghazi nor the embassy in Tripoli were guarded by U.S. Marines, whose deployment to Libya wasn’t a priority.

Rummaging through the Benghazi compound, a CNN reporter found a seven-page notebook belonging to Ambassador Stevens. According to the network, the diary said he was concerned about the “never-ending” security threats in Benghazi and wrote that he was on an al Qaeda hit list. In deference to the family’s wishes, CNN didn’t quote directly from the diary and didn’t divulge any private information in it.

His worries are newsworthy, however, and can inform America’s response. But Mrs. Clinton’s long-time and closest media adviser chose to attack CNN. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philippe Reines called the network’s conduct “disgusting.” He then deployed words not fit for a family newspaper in an exchange with a reporter for the Web site BuzzFeed. Mr. Reines may wish to protect his boss’s legacy for her 2016 Presidential run, but that won’t be enhanced by the appearance of a cover-up.

But, the problem is THE MEDIA and this wimp could get a second term. THAT IS MY FIRST CONCERN. And what is right there with that is NATIONAL SECURITY. This nation is at risk and who is minding the borders. Bean Bags. I AM NOT SAYING, the men and the women aren’t great. I am saying if Obama can allow this to happen, what else. I mean, we see just how incompetent he is and his ideology which in itself disgraceful. So, now what will Romney do and can he pull this off.

How much will this phase the voters. Will they see what we do? Will America do the right thing? These are serious questions and we won’t know until Nov.
